Kid Icarus (universe): Difference between revisions

*[[Image:Icon-pit.gif|right]]'''[[Pit (SSBB)|Pit]]''': A young angel knight who serves the goddess Palutena and saves the kingdom of Angel Land from the evil of the Underworld goddess Medusa. The name "Kid Icarus" is technically a misnomer, and refers not to Pit as an alternative name, but more as to what kind of entity Pit is. The Greek myth of Icarus is centered around a man possessing wings; since Pit has wings, he can be considered a "kid Icarus" of sorts. For his appearance in ''Brawl'' as a fighter, Pit has undergone a major character redesign. He uses the Sacred Bow of Palutena in combat, both to fire arrows, as it always has, and also to demonstrate its previously unseen ability to split in half and be used as a pair of swords for close-quarters combat.  Like [[Kirby]], [[Jigglypuff]], [[Meta Knight]], and [[Charizard]], Pit can jump multiple times in the air. His Standard Special move is the [[Palutena Arrow]], which Pit uses in a similar style as [[Link]], [[Young Link]], and [[Toon Link]]; however, Pit's arrows travel much faster, unaffected by gravity, and their trajectory can be controlled (i.e. it can be made to curve upwards or downwards) by pressing a direction right after releasing the arrow. His Up Special move, titled [[Wings of Icarus]], is a unique move giving him the ability of temporary free flight around the stage. His Down Special move, [[Mirror Shield]], reflects projectile attacks and protects Pit from damage on one side. His Side Special move is the [[Angel Ring]], a reflector move in which Pit spins the Palutena's Bow at a blinding speed in a full 360 circle, which does damage to his opponents.
